Who would listen to AI 'music?'
Briefly

Who would listen to AI 'music?'
"I can understand the users, the people finding ways to express themselves creatively, even if it's via prompts. If you think it's fun to create AI-generated music, do it. Similarly, playing with Nano Banana for pictures, Sora for videos, or letting Chat GPT write a bedtime story is harmless. But just as no one wants to read an AI-generated book or be drowned in AI-generated images and clips, I don't think music listeners are as keen on this."
"If the services were intended solely for the creators themselves, the problem would be smaller. But unfortunately, the ambitions do not stop there. In its pitch deck to investors, Suno highlights the AI-created band Velvet Sundown, which became a talking point this summer: "Suno songs go viral outside the platform." And it's that dream, to go viral or make a buck, that's driving rivers of AI music to fill up streaming platforms."
Casual creators use AI tools to produce music, images, videos, and stories, often for fun or creative expression. Tools include Nano Banana for pictures, Sora for videos, and Chat GPT for stories. Listener interest in AI-generated music appears lower than for other AI-generated media. Commercial ambitions expand the problem as companies and creators seek virality and revenue, exemplified by Suno's Velvet Sundown and its claim that "Suno songs go viral outside the platform." That drive fuels large uploads to streaming services, with Deezer reporting over 50,000 daily AI-song uploads and Spotify removing more than 75 million low-quality AI tracks.
